Recent efforts by two researchers have led to a new determination of the height of Kapakaytay Falls, located in the remote regions of northern Manitoba. The researchers undertook a challenging canoe trip over more than 100 kilometres to access the site. They applied a technique known as digital photogrammetry, which involves taking measurements from photographs to assess the dimensions of objects and terrain. Their findings indicate that Kapakaytay Falls measures approximately 16 metres in height. This new measurement positions Kapakaytay Falls as taller than Kwasitchewan Falls, which has long been acknowledged as the tallest waterfall in Manitoba. The results could prompt a reevaluation of the region’s natural landmarks and may attract interest from both local visitors and researchers concerned with natural geography and tourism.
